  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. The game board 2 is formed with a game area surrounded by guide rails and having a substantially circular outer edge. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (on the lower right edge of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs (light emitting diodes) and the like. Special symbols (also referred to as “special graphics”), which are a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) that can be displayed, are variably displayed (variable display). For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B each variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. To do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. However, for example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns in which the combination of the LED to be turned on and the LED to be turned off in the 7-segment LED may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols.

  A plurality of special symbols are assigned symbol numbers corresponding thereto. As an example, symbol numbers “0” to “9” are assigned to numbers indicating “0” to “9”, and symbol numbers “10” are assigned to symbols indicating “−”. Just do it. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

  Both the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are formed, for example, in a square shape. Note that the type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same (for example, a number indicating “0” to “9” and a symbol indicating “−”), and the type may be different. May be different. Further, each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B may be configured to variably display numbers (or two-digit symbols) indicating, for example, “00” to “99”. .

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the image display device 5, the first special symbol variable display by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol variable display by the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game respectively correspond to the variable display. For example, in a decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display units such as three, decorative symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed. This variable display of decorative designs is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged in the display area of the image display device 5. And in response to the start of one of the changes in the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game, In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the variation of decorative symbols (for example, vertical scroll display) is started. Thereafter, when the fixed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special symbol game, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 are displayed. Then, the finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the image display device 5, a special game using the first special graphic in the first special symbol display device 4A or a special graphic using the second special graphic in the second special symbol display device 4B is used. In synchronism with the figure game, variable display of a plurality of types of decorative symbols that can be identified is performed, and a definite decorative symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). In addition, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as a special symbol and a decorative symbol means that identification information such as a decorative symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as a complete stop display or a final stop display) and the variable display is ended. . On the other hand, during the variable display from the start of the variable display of the decorative pattern until the fixed decorative pattern that is the variable display result is derived and displayed, the variation speed of the decorative pattern becomes “0”, The symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, for example, in a display state that causes slight shaking or expansion / contraction. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed deterministically, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative pattern due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include displaying the decorative symbols completely stopped for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion / contraction.

  The decorative symbols variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R include, for example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese characters). It may be any combination of numbers, English letters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, letters, symbols, and character images. Character images may be, for example, people, animals, other objects, or , A decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure). A corresponding symbol number is assigned to each of the decorative symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. Note that the number of decorative symbols is not limited to eight, and may be any number as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is lost can be configured (for example, seven types or nine types).

  After the decorative symbol variable display is started, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are displayed until the fixed decorative symbol that is the variable display result is derived and displayed. In FIG. 5, for example, scroll display is performed such that the symbol number sequentially flows from the top to the bottom from the smallest to the largest, and when the decorative symbol having the largest symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, The decorative symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the “left” decorative symbol display area 5L), the symbols are scrolled from the largest symbol number to the smallest symbol symbol. When the decorative design having the smallest number is displayed, the decorative design having the largest design number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the image display device 5, a start winning storage display area 5H is arranged. In the start winning memory display area 5H, a hold memory display for displaying the variable display hold number corresponding to the special figure game (special figure hold memory number) is specified. Here, the variable display suspension corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). That is, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing a variable display game such as a special figure game or a variable display of decorative symbols has been established, but a variable display game based on the previously established start condition is being executed. When the start condition that allows the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the start winning memory display area 5H, the first hold for displaying the number of special figure hold memories identifiable on the lower part of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The number of first special figure hold memory is the number of memory in which the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. The second special figure hold memory number is the number of memories in which the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. The variable display hold memory number obtained by adding the first special figure hold memory number and the second special figure hold memory number is also referred to as a total hold memory number. When simply referring to the “number of special figure hold memory”, it usually refers to a concept including any of the first special figure hold memory number, the second special figure hold memory number, and the total hold memory number. It may refer to a concept that includes the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number but excludes the total reserved memory number).

  An inner frame 40 is attached to the upper right side of the game area in the game board 2 so as to surround the variable display device 5, and on the upper side of the inner frame 40 is a first effect movable mechanism 50 that operates during the game. Similarly, a second effect movable mechanism 80 that operates during a game is attached. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the inner frame 40, the first effect movable mechanism 50, and the second effect movable mechanism 80. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an inner frame 40, a first effect movable mechanism 50, and a second effect movable mechanism 80 are arranged in order from the front (player side). ing.

  The inner frame 40 is formed in a circular frame shape and constitutes a part of the board surface of the game board 2. In this embodiment, the inner frame 40 is formed so as to protrude from the game surface into which a game ball in the game area is driven to the front side (player side). It flows down outside the inner frame 40. Further, a warp inlet 41 is formed on the left side surface of the inner frame 40, and a part of the game balls that have been driven into the game area enter the inside of the inner frame 40 from the warp inlet 41, and the inner frame 40 It flows down from the warp outlet 47 formed in the lower part of the game area to the lower side of the game area.

  3 and 4 are a front view and a perspective view showing the vicinity of the warp outlet 47 of the inner frame 40, and FIG. 5 is an exploded view showing the vicinity of the warp outlet 47 of the inner frame 40. The inner frame 40 has a warp inlet 41 through which a part of the game balls launched into the game area enter the inside of the inner frame 40, and a game ball that has entered from the warp inlet 41 on the inner peripheral side stage 45 of the inner frame 40. A primary outlet 42 that discharges toward the bottom and a warp outlet 47 that causes the game ball to flow down to the lower side of the game area are formed. In this embodiment, the passage from the warp inlet 41 to the primary outlet 42 of the inner frame 40 is formed in the inner frame 40 or on the back side, and the player cannot visually recognize it. However, a part or all of the passage from the warp inlet 41 to the primary outlet 42 may be formed so that the player can visually recognize the front plate, for example, by a transparent member.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a reduction plate 43 perpendicular to the outlet direction of the primary outlet 42 is provided at the outlet of the primary outlet 42, and a zigzag passage 44 is provided following the reduction plate 43. And a stage 45 is provided at the end of the zigzag passage 44. The stage 45 is provided below the inner peripheral side of the inner frame 40 and is located on the front surface or below the variable display device 5. On the front side of the stage 45 (player side), there is formed a stage downstairs 46 that is one step lower than the stage 45, and the stage 45 is formed with a plurality of grooves 45 a that guide game balls to the stage downstairs 46. . In the stage downstairs 46, a plurality of outlets are formed as warp outlets 47. As an example, in this embodiment, a total of three front outlets 47a on the left, right, and center are formed on the front face of the stage downstairs 46. In addition, a central outlet 47b connected to a hole 46a formed at the center of the stage downstairs 46 is formed. Of the warp outlets 47, the central outlet 47b is formed so that the game ball flows down above the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A, and the game ball flowing down from the central outlet 47b is the first. It is easier to win the starting prize opening. Therefore, if a game ball enters the hole 46a of the stage downstairs 46, the probability of winning the first start winning opening increases, so that the game ball reaching the stage 45 enters the hole 46a of the stage downstairs 46a. Expectation is enhanced. With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the attention of the game ball that reaches the stage 45 and the game ball that enters the warp entrance 41, and it is possible to increase the interest of the game.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, on the inner peripheral side of the inner frame 40, the game balls discharged from the primary outlet 42 are forward (player side) and backward (back side of the game board 2 and variable display device). A jump stop 48 is provided so as not to jump and move toward the side 5). In this embodiment, a passage guide portion 48a is provided as a spring stop 48 from the primary outlet 42 to the middle of the stage 45 and from the middle of the stage 45 far from the primary outlet 42 to the opposite end. A front guide portion 48b is provided on the front surface. For example, the passage guide portion 48a is formed to have the same height as the game ball or about twice the height of the game ball, imitating the balustrade (handrail) of the stage 45 and the stage downstairs 46. Except for the center, it is provided in front and rear of the passage from the primary outlet 42 to the warp outlet 47. The front guide portion 48b is provided so as to cover the front of the stage 45 and the stage downstairs 46, has three holes formed as a front outlet 47a, and discharges the game balls that have entered the holes 46a of the stage downstairs 46. A central outlet 47b is formed. The front guide portion 48b jumps when the game ball flowing down the outer peripheral side of the inner frame 40 jumps and moves from other than the warp inlet 41 to the inner peripheral side of the inner frame 40, or rearward (the back side of the game board 2 or the variable display device 5 Or moving to the side).

  Since the inner frame 40 has a speed reducing plate 43 and a zigzag passage 44 formed at the outlet of the primary outlet 42, the game ball that has entered the warp inlet 41 and is discharged from the primary outlet 42 is reduced by the speed reducing plate 43. It collides with the passage wall of the zigzag passage 44, and its momentum is weakened. Therefore, the game ball that has entered from the warp inlet 41 reaches the stage 45 in a state where the momentum is weakened compared to the game ball flowing down the outer peripheral side of the inner frame 40, and then moves to the stage downstairs 46. It flows down from the warp outlet 47 to the lower part of the game area. Since the momentum is weakened in this way and the game ball reaches the inner peripheral side of the inner frame 40, the game ball that has entered from the warp inlet 41 moves forward (player side) or backward (back side of the game board 2 or the variable display device 5). The possibility of jumping to the side) is small. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, it is possible to reduce the jump stop 48 that prevents the game ball from jumping. For example, when the front and rear of the entire inner peripheral side of the inner frame 40 are covered with a transparent plate as a splash stopper, light is reflected from the plate surface of the transparent plate and is provided on the inner peripheral side of the inner frame 40. There is a possibility that the variable display device 5, the first effect moving mechanism 50, and the second effect moving mechanism 80 may be difficult to visually recognize. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the spring stop 48 is formed small so that the spring stop 48 is not positioned in front of the variable display device 5, the first effect movable mechanism 50, and the second effect movable mechanism 80. Therefore, the visibility of the variable display device 5, the first effect movable mechanism 50, and the second effect movable mechanism 80 can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, the passage guide portion 48a constituting a part of the jump stop 48 is formed to imitate the railing of the stage 45 and the stage downstairs 46, so that the jump of the game ball can be suppressed and the warp can be suppressed. The decorativeness in the vicinity of the outlet 47 can be improved.

It is formed as follows. A rack gear 66 a is formed on the upper surface of the decoration support 66 in the left-right direction. The decoration support 66 is formed with a shaft hole 66b for pivotally supporting the first decoration 64, and a support projection 66c for pivotally supporting the first gear 63A and a movable mechanism case 67. A mounting hole for mounting and a positioning boss are formed. The decoration support 66 is provided with a convex portion 66 d on the lower side that interferes with the convex portion 62 d formed on the lower surface of the rail 62 and restricts movement relative to the rail 62. Further, the decoration support 66 is provided with a magnet 66e at a position corresponding to the magnet 64c of the first decoration body 64 when the first decoration body 64 is in the initial rotation posture. When the first decorative body 64 is attached to the decorative support body 66, the first decorative body 64 is biased to the initial rotation posture by the magnets 64c and 66f. The decoration support 66 is provided with an LED (not shown) and a circuit board that drives the LED, and is configured to irradiate the first decoration body 64 with light.

  The movable mechanism case 67 is attached to the decorative support 66 from the rear by an attachment member such as a screw. The movable mechanism case 67 is formed with a guide portion 67 a that protrudes forward in accordance with the shape of the groove 62 c on the back surface of the rail 62. In the movable mechanism case 67, a projection 67b is formed on the back surface as a detection target of the position detection sensor 61a of the base body 61, and an attachment hole and a positioning hole for attachment to the decoration support 66 are formed. . The movable mechanism case 67 is formed with a viewing hole 67c through which the operating gear 63 (second gear 63B) can be viewed from the rear when the left movable mechanism 60 is assembled. Furthermore, positioning marks 67d and 67e are formed on the movable mechanism case 67 at a position adjacent to the peep hole 67c and a back surface near the guide portion 67a.

  FIG. 8A is a diagram for explaining the assembly of the rail 62, the decoration support 64, and the like using the movable mechanism case 67, and FIG. 8B is the diagram illustrating the movable mechanism case 67, the rail 62, and the decoration support. It is a figure which shows the state which assembled | attached the body 64 from back. As shown in the figure, when the left movable mechanism 60 is assembled, first, the second gear 63B is attached to the shaft hole 66b of the decoration support 66 by inserting the center shaft 64b of the first decoration body 64 and attaching the second gear 63B. The first gear 63 </ b> A is attached to the support shaft projection 66 c of the decoration support body 66 so as to be engaged, and the first decoration body 64 and the operation gear 63 are attached to the decoration support body 66. Subsequently, the rail 62 and the decoration support 66 are aligned so that the operation gear 63 (first gear 63A) and the rack gear 62a of the rail 62 are engaged with each other in this state. At this time, alignment is performed using positioning marks 62e and 63a formed on the operation gear 63 and the rail 62 so that predetermined gear teeth of the operation gear 63 and the rack gear 63a mesh with each other. As an example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the gear tooth on which the positioning mark 63a is formed on the second gear 63B is positioned below, the positioning mark 62e on the rack gear 62a is formed. Each position is adjusted so that the gear teeth mesh with the first gear 63A. Since the first decorative body 64 rotates with the rotation of the operation gear 63, the first decoration body 64 is aligned with respect to the position of the decoration support body 66 relative to the rail 62 by aligning the rail 62 and the operation gear 63 in this way. The posture (rotation angle) of the body 64 can be defined. That is, for example, when the decoration support body 66 is located at the advanced position (right side), the first decoration body 64 can be in a predetermined initial rotation posture.

  Then, the movable mechanism case 67 is attached to the decorative support 66 from the rear with the rail 62 and the operation gear 63 aligned. Specifically, the guide portion 67a of the movable mechanism case 67 is fitted into the groove 62c formed on the back surface of the rail 62 so as to slide from behind, and the decorative support body 66 and the movable mechanism case 67 are made of screws or the like. Fix with a fixing member. Accordingly, the rail 62 is sandwiched and supported by the decoration support 66 and the movable mechanism case 67 from the front and the rear, and is slidably assembled along the rail 62 with respect to the decoration support 66 and the movable mechanism case 67. . Here, the movement range of the decoration support body 66 and the movable mechanism case 67 is limited with respect to the rail 62 when the rail 62 and the protrusions 62 d and 66 d of the decoration support body 66 interfere with each other. Then, when the movable mechanism case 67 is correctly attached to the decoration support 66, the left movable mechanism 60 moves the decoration support 66 to the advanced position (right side) with respect to the rail 62 as shown in FIG. When positioned, the positioning mark 67e formed below the movable mechanism case 67 and the positioning mark 62f formed below the rail 62 are aligned, and adjacent to the peeping hole 67c of the movable mechanism case 67. The positioning mark 67d thus formed and the positioning mark 63b formed on the second gear 63B visible from the peeping hole 67c are aligned with each other. If the positioning marks 62f and 67e and the positioning marks 63b and 67d are not aligned as described above, it means that the members are not assembled correctly. Therefore, by positioning the decoration support 66 at the advanced position and confirming the positioning mark 63b of the second gear 63B from the viewing hole 67c of the movable mechanism case 67, the decoration support 66, the rail 62, and the like are correctly assembled. It can be easily confirmed whether or not there is.

  Further, in the left movable mechanism 60 of this embodiment, the guide portion 67a of the movable mechanism case 67 is fitted from behind to the groove 62c formed on the back surface of the rail 62, and the decorative support body 66 and the movable mechanism case 67 are used. The rail 62 is sandwiched and supported from the front and rear. The rail 62 is supported by the decoration support 66 by fixing the decoration support 66 and the movable mechanism case 67, and the movable mechanism case 67 is attached to the decoration support 66 as shown in FIG. In the absence, the rail 62 and the decorative support 66 are not supported by each other. Therefore, in the left movable mechanism 60, when the rail 62 is attached to the base body 61 alone, the movable mechanism case 67 can be attached by fitting the guide portion 67a of the movable mechanism case 67 into the groove 62c on the back surface of the rail 62. That is, the decorative support 66 and the rail 62 cannot be assembled, and the left movable mechanism 60 cannot be assembled. On the other hand, in a state where the rail 62 is not attached to the base body 61, the decoration support body 66, the rail 62, and the movable mechanism case 67 can be assembled and can be attached to the base body 61 integrally. At this time, the first decorative body 64 can be held in a state in which the posture of the first decorative body 64 is defined with respect to the position of the decorative support body 66 with respect to the rail 62. That is, for example, the rail 62, the first decoration body 64, the decoration support body 66, and the movable mechanism case 67 are assembled so that the first decoration body 64 assumes a predetermined initial rotation posture when the decoration support body 66 is located at the advanced position. It can be held in the state. For this reason, when the left movable mechanism 60 is assembled, the rail 62, the first decorative body 64, and the decorative support body 66 can be integrally attached to the base body 61 in a state where the rail 62, the first decorative body 64, and the decorative support body 66 are aligned. Accordingly, it is not necessary to attach each component to the base body 61 while aligning the rails 62, the decoration support body 66, and the first decoration body 64 so that their assembling relations are correct. Can be assembled easily.

  Further, in the left movable mechanism 60 of this embodiment, when the rail 62, the decoration support 66, and the movable mechanism case 67 are assembled and these are attached to the base body 61, the decoration support 66 is positioned at the advanced position. (That is, the rail 62 is pulled out from the decorative support 66) and can be attached to the base body 61. By attaching the rail 62 to the base body 61 in a state where the rail 62 is pulled out from the decoration support body 66 in this way, it is possible to suppress the decoration support body 66 and the like from interfering with the attachment when the rail 62 is attached to the base body 61.

  Further, since the first decoration body 64 and the decoration support body 66 are provided with magnets 64c and 66e so that the first decoration body 64 is biased in the initial rotation posture, the rail 62, the decoration support body 66, When the movable mechanism cover 67 is assembled, the first decorative body 64 may be positioned at a position urged by the magnets 64c and 66e, and the assembly can be easily performed.

  The drive gear 68 of the left movable mechanism 60 includes an output gear 68A attached to the output shaft 69a of the motor 69A, a working gear 68C that meshes with the rack gear 66a of the decoration support 66, and a transmission that meshes with the output gear 68A and the working gear 68C. The gear 68B is composed of three gears. Each of the working gear 68C and the transmission gear 68B is pivotally supported by the base body 61 by being attached to a gear shaft (not shown) bridged by the base body 61 and the gear case 69B. The gear case 69B is attached to the front surface of the base body 61 by a fixing member such as a screw. When the left movable mechanism 60 is assembled, when power is output from the motor 69A, power is transmitted in the order of the output gear 68A, the transmission gear 68B, and the operating gear 68C, and the rack gear 66a moves as the operating gear 68C rotates. Then, the decoration support 66 moves. As the motor 69A, for example, a stepping motor can be used, but any drive source may be used as long as the decoration support 66 can be moved by rotating the drive gear 68. Further, the drive gear 68 is not limited to the three composed of the output gear 68A, the transmission gear 68B, and the working gear 68C, and may be composed of one or two gears, or may be composed of four or more gears. May be.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining the operation of the first effect moving mechanism 50. In FIG. 9, the base body 61, the gear case 69B, and the movable mechanism case 67 are not shown for easy understanding. As shown in FIG. 9, when an output for moving the decoration support 66 in the retracting direction (left side) is made from the motor 69A in a state where the decoration support body 66 (first decoration body 64) is located at the advanced position (right side). (When an output for driving the output gear clockwise as viewed from the front is made), power is transmitted in the order of the output gear 68A, the transmission gear 68B, and the operating gear 68C, and the operating gear 68C is rotated to rotate. The decorative support 66 that meshes with 68C moves in the withdrawal direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, the drive gear 63 (the first gear 63A and the second gear 63B) that meshes with the rack gear 62a of the rail 62 rotates as the decoration support 66 moves, and the drive gear With the rotation of 63, the first decorative body 64 rotates (clockwise). That is, when an output for moving the decoration support body 66 in the withdrawal direction is made from the motor 69A, the decoration support body 66 moves in the withdrawal direction, and the first decoration attached to the decoration support body 66 along with this movement. The body 64 rotates. Then, when the drive gear 68 rotates by a predetermined amount, the decoration support 66 (first decoration body 64) moves to the retracted position (left side) as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the first decorative body 64 moves from the front side of the second effect movable mechanism 80 to the back side of the inner frame 40. In this embodiment, as the decoration support 66 moves from the advanced position to the retracted position, the first decorative body 64 makes one rotation (360 ° rotation), and at each of the advanced position and the retracted position. The first decorative body 64 is configured to have an initial rotation posture.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, when an output for moving the decoration support 66 in the advancing direction is made from the motor 69A in a state where the decoration support 66 is in the retracted position, that is, the motor 69A When the output in the direction opposite to the output for moving the decoration support 66 in the retreat direction is made (when the output for rotating the output gear 68A counterclockwise as viewed from the front is made), the decoration support 66 is moved forward. Move to (move to the right). Also at this time, as the decoration support 66 moves, the operation gear 63 meshing with the rack gear 62a of the rail 62 rotates, and the direction opposite to that when the decoration support 66 moves in the retracting direction (counterclockwise). In addition, the first decorative body 64 rotates.

  In the left movable mechanism 60 of this embodiment, when the decoration support 66 is located at the retracted position, the decoration support 66 and the first decoration 64 are positioned on the front surface of the rail 62 as shown in FIG. Then, one of the two mounting holes 62 b formed in the rail 62 is covered with the decoration support 66 on the front surface. Thus, by covering one of the mounting holes 62b on the front surface of the rail 62, it is possible to suppress the mounting holes 62b from being noticeable. Further, in the left movable mechanism 60 of this embodiment, the advancing side (right side) ends of the decoration support 66 and the movable mechanism case 67 are formed in a round shape. Even if the decorative body 64 rotates, the decorative support body 66 can be prevented from conspicuous due to the decorative support body 66 facing or hiding from the back side of the first decorative body 64.

  Further, in the left movable mechanism 60 of this embodiment, the first decorative body 64 is provided with a lens, and the decorative support body 66 is provided with an LED or the like for irradiating the first decorative body 64 with light. The visibility of the 1st decoration body 64 can be improved by making 1 decoration body 64 shine. In addition, by providing the decoration support 66 with a mechanism for irradiating light to the first decorative body 64 in this manner, the left movable mechanism 60 can be compared with a case where a light emitting mechanism is provided for the first decorative body 64 that rotates. The configuration can be simplified.

  The right movable mechanism 70 includes a base body 71, a rail (rail portion) 72, an operation gear 73, a second decoration body 74, a third decoration body 75 (second operation section), and a decoration support body 76 (first 1 operation part), a movable mechanism case (assembly holding part) 77, a drive gear 78, a motor 79A as a drive source, and a gear cover 79B.

Similarly to the left movable mechanism 60, the rail 72 is integrally attached to the base body 71 in an assembled state with the operating gear 73, the first decorative body 74, the decorative support body 76, and the movable mechanism case 77.

  The operation gear 73 of the right movable mechanism 70 is composed of one gear. The operation gear 73 meshes with the rack gear 72a of the rail 72 when the right movable mechanism 70 is assembled. Similar to the second gear 63B of the left movable mechanism 60, a positioning mark 73a for positioning with the rack gear 72a is formed on the back surface of the operating gear 73, and whether the right movable mechanism 70 is assembled correctly. A positioning mark 73b for confirming this is formed. However, the operation gear 73 of the right movable mechanism 70 may be composed of two or more gears, for example, like the operation gear 63 of the left movable mechanism 60.

  The 2nd decoration body 74 has the decoration part 74a to which predetermined | prescribed decoration (For example, symbols, such as a character, an illustration, or its part etc.) was given, and the support shaft 74b which protrudes from the back surface of this decoration part 74a. The second decoration body 74 moves integrally with the decoration support body 76 with the support shaft 74 b attached to the decoration support body 76. Unlike the first decorative body 64 and the third decorative body 75, the second decorative body 74 does not rotate with the movement of the decorative support body 76. The second decorative body 74 is provided with a lens (not shown) on the inner side and an LED circuit board that irradiates the lens with light, and is configured so that the visibility of the second decorative body 74 can be improved by illuminating the lens with the LED. Has been. Note that the second decorative body 74 may be configured so that only the lens is provided, and the decorative effect of the second decorative body 74 is enhanced by irradiating the lens with light from an LED (not shown) of the decorative support portion 76.

  The third decorative body 75 includes a decorative portion 75a to which a predetermined decoration (for example, a symbol such as a character or an illustration or a part thereof) is applied, and a central shaft 75b that protrudes from the back surface of the decorative portion 75a. In the third decorative body 75, the central shaft 75 b is inserted into the shaft hole 76 c of the decorative support body 76 and pivotally supported by the decorative support body 76, and the central shaft 75 b is connected to the operation gear 73 on the back side of the decorative support body 76. It is attached and rotates as the operating gear 73 rotates. Similar to the first decorative body 64, the third decorative body 75 is provided with a lens (not shown) inside. Similarly to the first decorative body 64, the third decorative body 75 has a rotational position when it is positioned at the advanced position and the retracted position as an initial rotational attitude, and a magnet on the lower left side when viewed from the front in this initial rotational attitude. 75c is provided.

  The decoration support body 76 of the right movable mechanism 70 has a substantially rectangular plate shape, and is formed in a shape in which an upper edge and approximately upper halves of both left and right edges protrude rearward. A rack gear 76 a is formed in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the decoration support 76 of the right movable mechanism 70. An attachment hole 76b for fixing the second decoration body 74 and a shaft hole 76c for pivotally supporting the third decoration body 75 are formed in the decoration support body 76, and attachment to the movable mechanism case 77 is performed. A mounting hole and a positioning boss are formed. The decorative support 76 is provided with a convex portion 76d on the lower side that interferes with the convex portion 72d formed on the lower surface of the rail 72 and restricts movement relative to the rail 72. Further, the decoration support 76 is provided with a magnet 76e at a position corresponding to the magnet 75c of the first decoration 75 when the third decoration 75 is in the initial rotation posture. As a result, the third decorative body 75 is biased to the initial rotation posture by the magnets 75c and 76e. The decoration support 76 is provided with an LED (not shown) and a circuit board that drives the LED, and is configured so that the LED can irradiate the third decoration body 75 with light.

  Similar to the movable mechanism case 67 of the left movable mechanism 60, the movable mechanism case 77 is attached to the decorative support 76 from the rear by a fixing member such as a screw. The movable mechanism case 77 is formed with a guide portion 77 a that protrudes forward in accordance with the shape of the groove portion 72 c on the back surface of the rail 72. In the movable mechanism case 77, a projection 77b is formed on the back surface as a detection target of the position detection sensor 71a of the base body 71, and an attachment hole and a positioning hole for attachment to the decoration support body 76 are formed. . Further, the movable mechanism case 77 is formed with a peep hole 77c through which the operation gear 73 can be peeped from the rear when the right movable mechanism 70 is assembled. Further, positioning marks 77d and 77e are formed on the movable mechanism case 77 at a position adjacent to the peep hole 77c and a back surface near the guide portion 77a.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the right movable mechanism 70 is assembled, first, the second decorative body 74, the third decorative body 75, and the operation gear 73 are attached to the decorative support body 76. Here, the second decorative body 74 is fixed to the decorative support body 76 by a fixing member such as a screw, and the third decorative body 75 and the operation gear 73 are connected to the shaft hole 76c of the decorative support body 76. By attaching the operating gear 75 through the central shaft 75b, the decorative support 76 is pivotally supported. Subsequently, in this state, similarly to when assembling the left movable mechanism 60, the rail 72 and the decoration support 76 are positioned using the positioning marks 72e and 73a formed on the operating gear 73 and the rail 72. As an example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, the gear teeth on which the positioning marks 72e of the rack gear 72a are formed and the gear teeth on which the positioning marks 73a of the operating gear 73 are formed mesh with each other. The positions of each other are adjusted. By aligning the rail 72 and the operation gear 73 in this way, the posture (rotation angle) of the third decorative body 75 can be defined with respect to the position of the decorative support body 76 on the rail 72. That is, for example, the third decorative body 75 can be in a predetermined initial rotation posture when the decorative support body 76 is located at the advanced position (right side).

  Then, the movable mechanism case 77 is attached to the decorative support 76 from the rear in a state where the rail 72 and the operation gear 73 are aligned. More specifically, the guide portion 77a of the movable mechanism case 77 is fitted into the groove portion 72c formed on the back surface of the rail 72 so as to be in sliding contact from the rear, and the decoration support 76 and the movable mechanism case 77 are fixed with screws or the like. Secure with members. Thus, like the left movable mechanism 60, the rail 72 is supported by being sandwiched from the front and rear by the decorative support body 76 and the movable mechanism case 77, and is supported by the rail 72 with respect to the decorative support body 76 and the movable mechanism case 77. It can be slidably assembled along. When the movable mechanism case 77 is correctly attached to the decoration support 76, the right movable mechanism 70 moves the decoration support 76 to the advanced position (right side) with respect to the rail 72 as shown in FIG. When positioned, the positioning mark 77e formed below the movable mechanism case 77 is aligned with the positioning mark 72f formed below the rail 72, and is formed adjacent to the peeping hole 77c of the movable mechanism case 77. The positioning mark 77d is aligned with the positioning mark 73b formed on the operating gear 73 visible from the peeping hole 77c. With this configuration, like the left movable mechanism 70, the decorative support body 76 is positioned at the advanced position, and the positioning mark 73b of the operation gear 73 is confirmed from the peep hole 77c of the movable mechanism case 77. It is possible to easily confirm whether or not the rail 72 and the like are correctly assembled.

  Further, in the right movable mechanism 70, similarly to the left movable mechanism 60, the guide portion 77 a of the movable mechanism case 77 is fitted from behind to the groove portion 72 c formed on the back surface of the rail 72, and the decorative support body 76 and the movable mechanism case. 77, the rail 62 is sandwiched and supported from the front and rear, so that when the rail 72 is attached to the base body 71 alone, the guide portion 77a of the movable mechanism case 77 can be fitted into the groove 72c on the back surface of the rail 72. In other words, the decorative support 76 and the rail 72 cannot be assembled, and the right movable mechanism 70 cannot be assembled. On the other hand, in a state where the rail 72 is not attached to the base body 71, the decoration support body 76, the rail 72, and the movable mechanism case 77 can be assembled and can be attached to the base body 71 integrally. Further, with this configuration, when the right movable mechanism 70 is assembled, the rail 72, the first decorative body 74, and the decorative support body 76 can be integrally attached to the base body 71 with the rail 72, the first decorative body 74, and the decorative support body 76 aligned. The right movable mechanism 70 can be assembled.

  Further, since the third decorative body 75 and the decorative support body 76 are provided with magnets 75d and 76e so that the third decorative body 75 is biased in the initial rotation posture, the rail 72 and the decorative support body 76 When the movable mechanism cover 77 is assembled, it is only necessary to perform the assembling work by placing the third decorative body 75 at a position urged by the magnets 75c and 76e, and the work can be easily performed.

  The drive gear 78 of the right movable mechanism 70 is an output gear 78A attached to the output shaft 79a of the motor 79A, and a working gear that is pivotally supported by the base body 61 and meshes with a rack gear 76a formed on the upper surface of the decoration support 76. It consists of two gears with 78B. When the right movable mechanism 70 is assembled, when power is output from the motor 79A, power is transmitted in the order of the output gear 78A and the operating gear 78B, and the rack gear 76a moves by rotating the operating gear 78B, thereby supporting the decoration. The body 76 moves. The motor 79A may be the same as the motor 69A of the left movable mechanism 60, or may be different from each other. Moreover, the drive gear 78 of the right side movable mechanism 70 may be comprised by one gear, and may be comprised by three or more gears.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the decoration support 76 is moved from the motor 79A in the retracting direction (right side) with the decoration support 76 (second decoration body 74 and third decoration body 75) positioned at the advanced position (left side).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, when an output for moving the decoration support 76 in the advancing direction is made from the motor 79A in a state where the decoration support 76 is located at the retracted position, that is, the motor 79A When an output in the direction opposite to the output for moving the decoration support 76 in the retracting direction is made (when the output for rotating the output gear 78A counterclockwise as viewed from the front is made), the output gear 78A and the working gear 78B are output. The power is transmitted in this order, and the decorative support 76 moves in the advance direction (moves to the left) as the action gear 78B rotates. Also at this time, the operation gear 73 meshing with the rack gear 72a of the rail 72 rotates with the movement of the decoration support 76, and in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) to the case where the decoration support 76 moves in the withdrawal direction, The third decorative body 75 rotates.

  In the left movable mechanism 60 and the right movable mechanism 70 of this embodiment, the drive gear 68 (output gear 68A, transmission gear 68B, operating gear 68C) of the left movable mechanism 60 and the drive gear 78 (output gear) of the right movable mechanism 70 are used. 78A and the operating gear 78B), the number of gears is different. By driving the motors 69A and 79A in the same rotational direction, the decorative supports 66 and 76 are moved in the advance direction and the retract direction, respectively. Is configured to move. Thereby, control of the 1st production movable mechanism 50 can be performed easily. Further, in the left movable mechanism 60 and the right movable mechanism 70, the number of gears differs between the operation gear 63 (first gear 63A, second gear 63B) and the operation gear 73, and the decorative supports 66 and 76 advance. The first decorative body 64 and the third decorative body 75 are configured to rotate in the same direction when moving in the direction and the leaving direction. With such a configuration, the sense of unity of the left movable mechanism 60 and the right movable mechanism 70 can be enhanced, and the effect of the first effect movable mechanism 50 can be improved.

  Further, in the right movable mechanism 70 of this embodiment, when the decoration support 76 is located at the retracted position, the decoration support 76 and the second decoration 74 are provided on the front surface of the rail 72 as shown in FIG. The third decorative body 75 is positioned, and one of the two attachment holes 72b formed in the rail 72 is covered with the decorative support body 76 on the front surface. Thereby, it can suppress that the attachment hole 62b is conspicuous. Further, when the rail 72, the decoration support 76, and the movable mechanism case 77 are assembled and attached to the base body 71, the decoration support 76 is positioned at the advanced position (that is, the rail 72 is the decoration support 76). Since it can be attached to the base body 71, it is possible to prevent the decorative support body 76 and the like from interfering with the attachment when attached to the base body 71.

  FIG. 12A is a front view showing the second effect movable mechanism 80 when the motion symbol 81 is located at the initial position, and FIG. 12B is a second view when the motion symbol 81 moves downward. FIG. 10 is a front view showing an effect movable mechanism 80. The second effect movable mechanism 80 is disposed behind the first effect movable mechanism 80, and moves the operation symbol 81 at the initial position as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the operation symbol 81 can be lowered from the initial position as shown in FIG. A fixed symbol 90 fixed to the frame body 85 of the second effect movable mechanism 80 is arranged behind the initial position of the motion symbol 81. When the motion symbol 81 descends from the initial position, FIG. As shown, a fixed symbol 90 appears from the back side of the operation symbol 81. The operation symbol 81 and the fixed symbol 90 are provided with a predetermined decoration (for example, a symbol such as a character, an illustration, or a part thereof). The upper end of the fixed symbol 90 is fixed to the frame body 85. Further, a protective protrusion 90a is formed at the lower end of the fixed symbol 90 so as to protrude to the front surface along the edge (see FIG. 14).

  In the second effect movable mechanism 80, as shown in FIG. 12, an arm 82 is attached to the operation symbol 81, and the operation symbol 81 moves up and down when the arm 82 is rotated by the drive mechanism 83. It is configured as follows. As an example, the drive mechanism 83 is configured such that the operating gear 84 rotates through a plurality of gears by an output from a motor (not shown). The operating gear 84 of the drive mechanism 83 has a power transmission projection 84 a formed at a position away from the center of rotation, and this power transmission projection 84 a is inserted into a long hole 82 a formed at one end of the arm 82. Yes. The arm 82 is pivotally supported by the support shaft 82b on the frame body 85 of the second effect moving mechanism 80. When the operating gear 84 rotates and the power transmission projection 84a pushes the wall surface of the long hole 82a of the arm 82, the arm 82 82 rotates around the support shaft 82b. A long hole (not shown) is formed in the arm 82 at the end opposite to the side connected to the drive mechanism 83, and a first member 87 fixed to the operation symbol 81 is formed in the long hole. The drive shaft 86c (see FIGS. 13 and 14) is inserted. When the arm 82 rotates, the drive shaft 87a moves along with the rotation of the arm 82, and the operation symbol 81 moves.

  The second effect movable mechanism 80 is provided with a guide mechanism 86 that guides the operation symbol 81 so that the operation symbol 81 moves in the vertical direction as the arm 82 rotates. FIG. 13 is an exploded view showing the operation symbol 81, the guide mechanism 86, the fixed symbol 90, and the frame body 85. In FIG. 12, the arm 82 and the drive mechanism 83 are not shown. As illustrated, the guide mechanism 86 includes a first member 86A, a second member 86B, and a third member 86C. Each of the first member 86A, the second member 86B, and the third member 86C is formed with a guide hole 86a along the vertical direction and a guide shaft 86b that is guided through the guide hole 86a. As the guide shaft 86b moves along, the operation symbol 81 is guided so as to move along the vertical direction.

  The first member 86A is fixed to the operation symbol 81 by a fixing member such as a screw. The motion symbol 81 has a shape whose lower end extends rearward, and the motion symbol 81 and the first member 86A are fixed to the lower end extending rearward. That is, the operation symbol 81 and the first member 86A have a U-shape opening upward as viewed from the side. The first member 86A is disposed on the back side of the fixed symbol 90, and the fixed symbol 90 is disposed between the operation symbol 81 and the first member 86A. A driving shaft 86c is formed on the front surface of the first member 86A, and the driving shaft 86c is inserted into a long hole (not shown) of the arm 82.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the second effect movable mechanism 80. In the second effect movable mechanism 80, when the arm 82 is rotated by the drive mechanism 83 from the state where the operation symbol 81 shown in FIG. The shaft 86c moves as the arm 82 rotates, and the operation symbol 81 moves downward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14B, the second member 86B and the third member 86C slide in order and move downward in accordance with the movement of the operation symbol 81 (first member 86A). When the motion symbol 81 moves downward, a fixed symbol 90 located behind the initial position of the motion symbol 81 appears. Further, by rotating the arm 82 upward by the drive mechanism 83, the operation symbol 81 can be returned to the initial position, and the fixed symbol 91 can be positioned behind the operation symbol 81.

  In order to enhance the production effect in which the fixed symbol 90 appears when the motion symbol 81 moves, it is preferable that the fixed symbol 90 is not visible when the motion symbol 81 is located at the initial position. It is desirable to arrange it on the front side. However, if the motion symbol 81 moves up and down in contact with the front surface of the fixed symbol 90, there is a risk that the motion resistance of the motion symbol 81 will increase or the decoration on which the motion symbol 81 is applied to the fixed symbol 90 may be scraped off. On the other hand, in the second effect movable mechanism 80 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, a protective protrusion 90a protruding forward is formed at the lower end of the fixed symbol 90. Even in contact with the fixed symbol 90, it is possible to suppress an increase in the operation resistance of the operation symbol 81, and it is possible to prevent the operation symbol 81 from shaving the decoration applied to the fixed symbol 90. Further, since the protective protrusion 90a of the fixed symbol 90 is formed along the lower edge of the fixed symbol 90, it is possible to suppress the conspicuous of the protective protrusion 90a.

  In the second effect movable mechanism 80, the motion symbol 81 moves in the vertical direction, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, when the motion symbol 81 moves from the initial position to the left side, the motion symbol 81 The fixed symbol 90 may appear from the back side. In this case, the protective projection 90a may be formed so that the left edge of the fixed symbol 90 projects forward. Further, the operation symbol 81 may be configured to rotate as the arm 82 rotates. Further, the protective protrusion 90a may be formed not only on the lower edge of the fixed symbol 90 but also on the entire circumference.

  Below the game area on the game board 2, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is an electric motor having a pair of movable wing pieces that are changed into a normal open state in a vertical position and an expanded open state in a tilted position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. A tulip-shaped accessory (ordinary electric accessory) is provided, and a start area (second start area) and a second start winning opening are formed.

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the OFF state, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening. It is difficult to open normally. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by the tilt control in which the movable blade piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the ON state ( It will be in an expanded open state that is easy to enter. In the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even in the normal open state, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter more than in the expanded open state. You may comprise so that it may become low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B may be configured so that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening in the normally open state, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening. In this way, the second start winning port as the second start area is in an expanded open state in which game balls easily pass (enter) and in a normally open state in which game balls are difficult to pass (enter) or cannot pass (enter). To change.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, a first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. A game ball that has passed (entered) a second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, a second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the second start condition is satisfied. The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. May be the same number or different numbers.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a special winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door shown in FIG. 10, and a specific region that is changed between an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. As a big prize opening.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the OFF state, the special prize opening door closes the big winning prize opening, and the game ball passes (enters) the big winning prize opening. Make it impossible. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in the ON state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening and the game ball passes through the big winning opening (entrance). ) Make it easier. In this way, the special prize opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enters) and is disadvantageous to the player To do. Instead of the closed state where the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the big prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball hardly passes (enters) through the big prize port may be provided.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) through the big prize opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23. Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, the gaming ball passes through other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the special prize winning opening, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to get a prize ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball into the special prize winning port. This is a disadvantageous second state.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7 segments, dot matrix LEDs, and the like, like the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and a plurality of types of identification information different from the special symbols. Is displayed (variably displayed) in a variable manner. Such variable display of normal symbols is called a general game (also referred to as “normal game”).

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general-purpose hold indicator 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general-purpose hold storage number as the number of effective passing balls that have passed through the passing gate 26.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In addition, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the large winning opening, for example, a single or plural general winning openings that are always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member are provided. May be. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as a prize ball based on the fact that a game ball that has entered one of the general prize openings is detected by a predetermined general prize ball switch. In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 is provided at the periphery of the game area. A decorative LED is arranged around each structure (for example, the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, the inner frame 40, etc.) in the game area of the pachinko gaming machine 1. May be. At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a hitting operation handle (operation knob) operated by a player or the like to launch a game ball as a game medium toward the game area. For example, the hitting operation handle adjusts the resilience of the game ball according to the operation amount (rotation amount) by the player or the like. The hitting operation handle only needs to be provided with a single shot switch or a touch ring (touch sensor) for stopping the driving of a shooting motor included in the hitting ball shooting device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a game ball paid out as a prize ball or a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball hitting device. )) Is provided. Below the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a lower plate that holds (stores) surplus balls overflowing from the upper plate so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  For example, a stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached to a member that forms the lower plate, for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate main body (for example, a central portion of the lower plate). Yes. The stick controller 31A includes an operation stick that the player holds, and a trigger button is provided at a predetermined position of the operation stick (for example, a position where the index finger of the operator is hooked when the player holds the operation stick). Yes. The trigger button can be operated in a predetermined direction by performing a push-pull operation with a predetermined operation finger (for example, an index finger) in a state where the player holds the operation stick of the stick controller 31A with an operation hand (for example, the left hand). What is necessary is just to be comprised. A trigger sensor that detects a predetermined instruction operation such as a push / pull operation on the trigger button may be incorporated in the operation rod.

  A tilt direction sensor unit for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod may be provided inside the main body of the lower plate below the stick controller 31A. For example, the tilt direction sensor unit includes two transmissive photosensors (parallel sensors) arranged in parallel to the board surface of the game board 2 on the left side of the center position of the operation pole when viewed from the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 1. And a pair of transmissive photosensors (vertical sensor pairs) arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the game board 2 on the right side of the center position of the operation rod when viewed from the player side. What is necessary is just to be comprised including the photo sensor.

  The member that forms the upper plate includes, for example, a push button 31B that allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the upper plate body (for example, above the stick controller 31A). Is provided. The push button 31B only needs to be configured to be able to detect a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation from a player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically. A push sensor for detecting the player's operation act on the push button 31B may be provided inside the main body of the upper plate at the installation position of the push button 31B. Note that when an operation by the player is detected, the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are changed in the display effect on the display device 5 by the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 10, the operation in the effect moving mechanism 50, and the speaker 8L. The sound output from 8R and the lighting operation (flashing operation) of the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 may be used in an effect (for example, a notice effect or a reach effect).

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a normal symbol display 20 for performing variable display of a normal symbol such that a game ball that has passed through a passing gate 26 provided in the game area has been detected by a gate switch (not shown). After the figure start condition is satisfied, the normal symbol display 20 uses the normal symbol display unit 20 based on the fact that the general symbol start condition for starting the variable symbol normal display, for example, that the previous general symbol game has ended is satisfied. The game starts.

  In this normal game, after the normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time as the normal symbol change time elapses, the fixed normal symbol that is a variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the variable symbol display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7” is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol is “ordinary loss”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the normal symbol variable display result is “per standard”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable tulip of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, after the first start condition is satisfied, for example, the game ball that has passed (entered) through the first start winning port formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by a first start port switch (not shown), Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied due to the end of the figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by a second start opening switch (not shown), for example, The special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied due to, for example, the end of the previous special symbol game or the big hit gaming state.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, after the special symbol variable display is started, the variable as the special symbol variation time set every time the special symbol game is performed. When the display time elapses, a fixed special symbol (special symbol display result) that is a variable symbol display result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as the specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small bonus symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes “small hit” as a predetermined display result. Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol, the game is “lost”.

  After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times. After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the small hit game state is controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and In response to the start of any one of the special symbol games using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B, the decorative symbol variable display is started. The period from the start of variable display of decorative symbols to the end of variable display due to the stop display of the fixed decorative symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R Then, in response to the variable display state of the decorative symbols becoming a predetermined reach state or the reach state, the display operation in the image display device 5, the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp The lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as 9 performs an effect operation different from that before reaching the reach state.

  In this embodiment, when the reach effect is performed, the effect operation by the first effect movable mechanism 50 and the second effect movable mechanism 80 is performed according to the special figure fluctuation effect control pattern. As an effect operation by the first effect moving mechanism 50, the motors 69A and 79A are driven and controlled to move the decoration supports 66 and 76 in the advancing direction and exit with the rotation of the first decoration body 64 and the third decoration body 75. Move in the direction. In addition, as an effect operation by the second effect movable mechanism 80, the operation mechanism 81 is controlled to be positioned at the upper initial position by controlling the drive mechanism 83, or the fixed symbol 90 arranged on the back side of the operation symbol 81 is provided. The action symbol 81 is lowered so as to appear.

  In the production operation using the first production movable mechanism 50 and the second production movable mechanism 80 in the reach production, the production pattern is determined in advance so that the production operation with a high production effect is performed as the reach production with a high expectation degree of big hit. You may keep it. For example, when the normal reach effect is performed, only the first effect movable mechanism 50 may be operated, and when the super reach effect is performed, both the first effect movable mechanism 50 and the second effect movable mechanism 80 may be operated. .

  The production operation using the first production movable mechanism 50 and the second production movable mechanism 80 is not limited to these examples, and the motors 69A and 79A of the first production movable mechanism 50 and the second production movable mechanism 50 are not limited thereto. Various rendering operations that can be realized by driving the drive mechanism 83 of the movable mechanism 80 may be employed.
